Getting 23 Miles a Gallon: The Maserati Spyder for 1991
Several things can be said about the Maserati Spyder series: including the polarizing reactions most buyers have towards their car. The six-cylinder engine is at the heart of the strong emotions, it is powerful for its class and delivers a large amount of torque.
Under the Hood
The restyled Spyder Base is equipped with a 2.8-liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 18 valves. The engine is mated to a ZF five-speed transmission. This has resulted in an increase in horsepower and torque over the 1990 version.
The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Spyder uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. Load balancing is provided by coil front springs and coil in the rear.
Statistics
The Spyder is inches long, inches wide, and inches high. It has a wheelbase of inches. It is able to seat several adults comfortably.
The listed retail price in 1991 (MSRP) was an industry-low price, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price is on target the industry average price for a two-door Convertible.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 1991 Spyder is a traditional Weber/Marelli, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 12 gallons.
The 1991 Spyder gets 23 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 in the city. This is subpar for a convertible car.
What We Think of the Maserati Spyder
The 1991 model year was very successful for the Maserati Spyder. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers could find the version that best suited their needs.
